Linerless labeling technologies are now viewed as a real opportunity by many laminate producers. Linerless labels are gaining an increasing share of the pressure-sensitive label market, and show promising growth in VIP and primary product pressure-sensitive labels.This report brings you up to speed on new developments, growth areas and the applications in which linerless labels are used.
Linerless pressure-sensitive labels are not a new technology. The ability to produce them has been around for many years. Over the last eight years, however, there has been significant interest in, and growing use of the technology.
Adoption and continued interest in the technology is being driven by several factors: avoidance of waste/sustainability; cost and developments in application machinery. Linerless labels offer advantages in these aspects over traditional linered pressure-sensitive laminate, but there are limitations as well.
Linerless labels have found success in several areas: prime label applications where intricate die-cut shapes are not needed, such as sleeves for fresh foods and meats and postage stamps, and for variable information labeling where high-speed dispensing is not required, in mobile printing, retail/weigh-scale labels and fast-food outlets.
This new report provides current market data and the latest developments for linerless labels. It offers market information for the global market and includes market data for the regional markets.
